Inner Peace

Beloved Lights of Love, please can you guide me / us all as to the most important thing we should be attempting to achieve in a lifetime?

Ultimately, beloved of us, it is inner Peace that each soul seeks on its life sojourn, Peace of the Soul.  This will never be achieved if the ego refuses to listen to that small still voice within, for therein lies the key to that inner Peace.

 Some seek it through addictions…drugs, alcohol, sex, spending, over achieving…the ways are varied and limitless, for the Ego ever deceives.  “If only I have / achieve this or that , I will then feel at Peace.”   Peace is not achieved  externally through action.  It is achieved internally through inaction, through stillness, for only then can the small still voice of the Soul be heard.

This is ever known by those who seek inner wisdom and inner Peace.  To a large extent, the external noise must be shut out so that you have a still, sacred space within in which to know the Self, the divine wisdom that dwells within.

What causes this?

Greed, ignorance, a whole string of negative self-beliefs.  Ever has youth been wasteful of its energies in its ignorance, believing it could achieve anything without paying the price.  As the years pass, the wiser man / woman realises that there is a price to be paid for every action and inaction!  Balance is the key…the middle path, the middle pillar, neither veering too much to one extreme or another, respecting others and yourself, valuing yourself and others, valuing your health, (physical, mental, emotional and spiritual), listening to that small still voice within.  There is nothing in the outer material world which equates in any way to the value of obtaining and keeping inner Peace.  It is the only thing of value which the soul takes with it when it leaves the body at the end of a lifetime.  NOTHING else can be taken.  NOTHING else is of any value in comparison.

Is not love of value?

If you have not love for yourself then you have no inner Peace.  True Love and inner Peace are one.

What about love from others?

If you do not have love for yourself, totally accepting who you are without reservation, then you cannot love others, nor can you be open to receive fully the love of others, for the heart is not fully open.  Doubt sets in… self-doubt, then doubt of others’ motives.  Insecurities set in and there is no full trust.  When you seek your inner Peace, you learn to know the self.  “Man know thyself” is one of the most ancient adages.

To know the self is to know that the self is divine, a sacred being.  To be loved and honoured is a treasure beyond price, and it is this, and this alone that each soul seeks to remember when it is on its life sojourn.  For it is this that it ‘forgets’ when it crosses the Abyss and re-enters a human body.  THIS, BELOVED ONE, IS THE MOST ANCIENT OF WISDOMS AND THE MOST WISE OF TRUTHS.

So how does the ordinary soul find this for him / herself?

First, the impetus needs to be present to find this peaceful centre.  That is, the Intent needst be present, then he (or she) needs to be prepared to make changes in his everyday life, to re-allocate time aside each day to achieve everyday life, to remove himself to a degree from the noise and haste, the greed, arrogance and cruelty of the outer world and instead to re-centre himself on the loving centre of the soul which brings that inner peace. 

He needs to listen and to act upon the small still voice which becomes a deafening roar which cannot be ignored.  He has to be prepared to step out of the crowd and be an individual, to be seen to be different, and in doing this he will inspire others to do the same.  This is how Peace on Earth will ultimately be achieved, for from the inner Peace will come the outer Peace.

Most people are lost souls. They are ever seeking answers.  They turn to spiritual leaders, to religious leaders to answer their questions.  “What is the purpose of my life?”, “Why am I here?”  “What is my soul purpose?”  All of these questions have one answer… You are here to find your inner Peace.

But people who spend their lives helping others… nurses, healers have such stresses in their lives.  Surely their inner Peace should come from dedicating their lives to helping others?

Your culture does not value them.  It values only money which generates greed, selfishness and cruelty, therefore the altruistic services are not valued.  Money is the God.  It is in reality a great evil which distorts reality.  Stress is the result.  Inner Peace can never be achieved with stress present.  Stress is an antithesis to inner Peace.

I seek my inner peace now more than anything else.  I feel all my “distress” has been leading me to this realisation.

Then your distress has not been in vain.  To think “poor me” when you suffer distress is to miss the point entirely, for all experiences are attempting to point you in a particular direction to assist you in viewing your Reality in another / different perspective.  When the ego chooses its own Path without listening to the Guidance of the small still voice of the soul, then the soul attempts to be heard by causing distress or dis-ease to the ego.  It is ever attempting to re-align the ego with the soul, that there be no separation but rather a harmonious relationship between the two.

Ever is the Soul the Light which leads the Ego homeward towards inner Peace.  This is understood by those who have listened to their inner guidance (or ‘conscience’) and ‘done the right thing.’  When you do this, you feel a deep sense of relief, of inner Peace and stillness..peace of mind.  Often the mind will attempt to lead the ego astray, convincing it with arguments towards selfish ends.  This is not the voice of the soul.  The more the soul is listened to, the louder becomes the voice.

I seek to hear this voice more clearly.

Then you will find your inner Peace more easily.  People who have a strong connection with the Soul Voice / Guidance will choose death rather than to live a life which is not in accordance with the dictates of the Soul.  This is something which none will understand who have not heard the inner voice clearly.  “Surely it is better to live,” they will argue, but to live what sort of a life?  Not one where inner Peace is the Rule of the Day! 

When a sacred space is entered, (a church, a mosque or an ancient sacred site), it is more easy in that stillness and peace to listen to the Soul through the heart.  That sacred space needst be ideally seen as the human body wherever it may be, for all of your world and space is sacred.  It is Mankind which defiles it through his inability to see with clear vision the Beauty and Sanctity of all Creation…of Nature.  And your body is of Nature, natural.

It was not ‘created’ by man, though man in his ignorance believes he creates each child which is born.  He is merely the vehicle through which a sacred creation manifests.  It is the Spirit connected to all of life that creates and manifests its beautiful new Reality, or body, within which the Soul may shine.

It is still in its infancy, the human race, and has as yet no conception of the Powers behind creation… the Unseen.  It believes only that which it sees.  It hopes to isolate the God Particle?  The God Particle is in each one of us on every level of Creation, for we are the God particle as much as the unknowable Force behind our creation.

Be in awe… be in reverence… for yourselves as much as for the Great Powers that be, for in Reality there is no separation other than the various levels of intelligence and understanding; for on this level of Reality, Mankind is as an ant crawling upon the ground compared with the vision of the eagle flying in the Heavens.  One is no “better” than the other.  All are connected and all are divine.  It is a matter of degree and perspective.  See yourself as sacred, see yourself as divine.  Honour yourself and your beautiful body you have chosen to inhabit as your vehicle of expression, and you will find your inner Peace.

Honour and love yourself and you will be in alignment with the Greater Power of Light…the Great mystery.

Peace Be You child
